a soldier in the night

In the night a soft sound jolts awake soldiers A feeling of dread in everyone, no sleep will happen For a trench must be dug and machine guns placed no mans land filled with the dead BOOM! grenades thrown machine guns fired people running not even making it past halfway many soldiers lost in time frozen at the sound Planes, HISS, gas the sound of shouting Drowned men by my side gasping, trying My fogged mask hard to see them Its better that way, nothing to see as i run No way to see the men by my sidee slowly drowning Dirt in my eyes as i crouch at the trenches No mans land filled with soldiers from both sides Hard to see anything dust everywhere men everywhere
